At a homecoming pep rally, one student will win free tickets to the homecoming dance. There are 2,400 students attending the pep rally. The student council wants to pull the winning student’s name from a container with the school’s mascot on it. Unfortunately, the container only holds 600 names.

Which method can the student council use to ensure each student has a fair chance of winning?

A.
Randomly assign the 2,400 students to four equal groups. Select a group at random and put all the names from that group in the container. Randomly select the winner from the container.
B.
Put the names of the first 600 students who arrive at the pep rally in the bag. Randomly select the winner from the container.
C.
Select a section of the bleachers and only put the names of students sitting in that section in the container. Randomly select the winner from the container.
D.
Select a grade and only put the names of students from that grade in the container. Randomly select the winner from the container.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer A. Logically speaking there is no fair chance unless they use all the names but we can rule out C by the higher chance of students crowding, B is less likely as selecting winners from students who arrive first would be nearly the same as who bought their tickets first. D, selecting a grade excludes (estimating) around 1500 students or more from being included. A is the only logical answer left and by dividing them randomly you give everyone a full chance.

A car travelling at v kilometers per hour will need a stopping distance, d, in meters without skidding that can be modelled by the function d=0.0067v2+0.15v. Determine the speed at which a car can be travelling to be able to stop within 37m.

I’m need of serious help!

Answers

Answer:

v =  14 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 0.0067[tex]v^{2}[/tex] + 0.15v

differentiate the function with respect to v to have;

d = 0.0134v - 0.15

given that the distance without skidding = 37 m (0.037 km) , then;

0.037 = 0.0134v - 0.15

0.0134v = 0.037 + 0.15

             = 0.187

v = [tex]\frac{0.187}{0.0134}[/tex]

  = 13.9552

v =  14 km/h

The speed of the car travelling would be 14 km/h to be able to stop within 37m.

Si un proyectil asciende verticalmente, y después de 3 segundos alcanza su altura máxima, calcule la velocidad que lleva a la mitad de su trayectoria descendente

Answers

Answer:

The speed is 20.8  m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

If a projectile ascends vertically, and after 3 seconds it reaches its maximum height, calculate the velocity that it carries to the middle of its downward trajectory

Let the maximum height is h and initial velocity is u.

From first equation of motion

v = u + at

0 = u - g x 3

u = 3 g.....(1)

Use third equation of motion

[tex]v^2 = u^2 - 2 gh \\\\0 = 9 g^2 - 2 gh \\\\h = 4.5 g[/tex]

Let the speed at half the height is v'.

[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2 gh \\\\v'^2 = 0 + 2 g\times 2.25 g\\\\v'^2 = 4.5\times 9.8\times9.8\\\\v' = 20.8 m/s[/tex]

The square root of 0.25 is 0.5 which is a greater number. Give another number whose square root is larger than the number and explain why.

Answers

Answer:

Another example of a number who's square root is greater than the number is  [tex]\sqrt{0.49}[/tex] which is 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

This square root is larger than the number because it is a decimal. When you multiply a decimal by a decimal, the decimal point becomes greater. For example: 0.7 multiplied by 0.7 equals 0.49 which has 2 decimal places, while 0.7 only has one.

Answer:

Option B

<F = 26°

<D = 64.01°

FD = 89

Answered by GAUTHMATH

For right triangle EFD,  m ∠F ≈ 26°, m ∠D ≈ 64.01° and FD = 89

The correct answer is an option (B)

What is hypotenuse?

It is the longest side of the right triangle.

What is Pythagoras theorem?

For a right triangle,

[tex]a^{2}+ b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex], where c is hypotenuse and a, b area other two sides of the right triangle

For given example,

We have been given a right triangle EFD with hypotenuse FD.

Also, EF = 80, ED = 39

Using the Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]\Rightarrow FD^{2}= EF^{2} + ED^{2}\\\\ \Rightarrow FD^{2}= 80^{2} + 39^{2}\\\\ \Rightarrow FD^2 = 6400 + 1521\\\\ \Rightarrow FD^2 = 7921\\\\\Rightarrow FD = 89[/tex]

Consider, sin(F)

[tex]\Rightarrow sin(F)=\frac{ED}{FD} \\\\\Rightarrow sin(F)=\frac{39}{89}\\\\ \Rightarrow sin(F)=0.4382\\\\\Rightarrow \angle F=sin^{-1}(0.4382)\\\\\Rightarrow \angle F=25.98^{\circ}\\\\\Rightarrow \angle F\approx 26^{\circ}[/tex]

Now, consider sin(D)

[tex]\Rightarrow sin(D)=\frac{FE}{FD}\\\\ \Rightarrow sin(D)=\frac{80}{89}\\\\ \Rightarrow \angle D = sin^{-1}(0.8988)\\\\\Rightarrow \angle D = 64.009^{\circ}\\\\\Rightarrow \angle D \approx 64.01^{\circ}[/tex]

Therefore, for right triangle EFD,  m ∠F ≈ 26°, m ∠D ≈ 64.01° and FD = 89

How much money invested at 3% compounded monthly for 3 years will yield $520?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use this formula:

[tex]A(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex] where A(t) is the amount after the compounding is done, P is the initial investment (our unknown), r is the interest rate in decimal form, n is the number of compoundings per year, and t is the time in years. Filling in:

[tex]520=P(1+\frac{.03}{12})^{(12)(3)}[/tex] and simplifying that a bit:

What is the common difference of the arithmetic sequence-20,-16,-12,-18

Answers

Answer:

common difference = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

common difference is the difference between the successive term and its preceding term.

let's take the successive term of -20 that is - 16

common difference (d) = successive term - preceeding term

= -16 -(-20)

= -16 + 20

= 4

if we take the successive term of -16 that is -12

we'll get the same common difference.

d = -12 -(-16)

d = -12 + 16

d = 4

this means that the common difference for an AP remains constant.

Find the discernment and the numbers of the number of real roots for this equation.
x^2+3x+8=0

Answers

Answer:  2 distinct complex solutions (ie non real solutions).

Work Shown:

The given equation is in the form ax^2+bx+c = 0, so

a = 1, b = 3, c = 8

Plug those into the formula below to find the discriminant

D = b^2 - 4ac

D = 3^2 - 4(1)(8)

D = -23

The discriminant is negative, so we get two nonreal solutions. The two solutions are complex numbers in the form a+bi, where a & b are real numbers and [tex]i = \sqrt{-1}[/tex]. The two solutions are different from one another.

Answer:

Discriminant: -23

Number of real roots: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic in standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex], the discriminant is given by [tex]b^2-4ac[/tex].

In [tex]x^2+3x+8[/tex], assign:

[tex]a\implies 1[/tex] [tex]b\implies 3[/tex] [tex]c\implies 8[/tex]  

The discriminant is therefore:

[tex]3^2-4(1)(8)=9-32=\boxed{-23}[/tex]

For any quadratic:

If the discriminant is greater than 0, the quadratic has two real rootsIf the discriminant is equal to 0, the quadratic has one real rootIf the discriminant is less than 0, the quadratic as no real roots

Since the quadratic in the question has a discriminant less than 0, there are no real solutions to this quadratic.

Using Pythagoras' identity

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

let the hypotenuse be h , then

h² = 23² + 38² = 529 + 1444 = 1973 ( take square root of both sides )

Because there's a square between the 2 angles, that means these angles are complementary (angles that add up to 90°). So:

11x - 9 = 90

11x = 90 + 9
